Half a million visitors for McQueen exposition

Only 78 days after the Alexander McQueen exposition opened its doors in the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the exposition has already been visited over half a million times. A lot of visitors are still expected to come and the exposition is a great success.

The exposition, that looks back on the most spectacular and influential pieces of the fashion icon, opened its doors in early May and lead to the museum’s biggest opening day to date. McQueen’s work can be seen in the museum until August 7 and the museum still expects many visitors in the coming weeks.

The exposition has been a great success and one afternoon this summer it was so crowded, that McQueen’s art could barely be seen. Most people were blocking the art and getting close to the art was not an easy task for most visitors. The exposition’s website reports that there is a chance that people will have to stand in line. It’s not always as crowded though and the exposition’s website, Savage Beauty, does have some tips for people that still intend to visit the exhibition. Since it’s usually most crowded during weekends, the website recommends people to visit in the morning or on weekdays to avoid having to stand in line.
